‏ Luke 7:29

 Justified God ( εδικαιωσαν τον θεον ). They considered God just or righteous in making these demands of them. Even the publicans did. They submitted to the baptism of John ( βαπτισθεντες το βαπτισμα του Ιωανου. First aorist passive participle with the cognate accusative retained in the passive. Some writers consider verses 29, 30 a comment of Luke in the midst of the eulogy of John by Jesus. This would be a remarkable thing for so long a comment to be interjected. It is perfectly proper as the saying of Jesus.
